Though Pete was responsible for all of the lyrics in FOB, he left lead vocal duty to Patrick Stump. In Black Cards, Pete, again, wasn’t looking to man the mic. After initially looking for "a quirky British girl" to front the band, Pete reportedly came up empty. Enter Bebe Rex: "a twentysomething from Staten Island with virtually no experience in the music business." Pete overheard her singing in the studio next door and recruited her for the project, Rolling Stone reports.

Pete explains the genre switch on the Black Cards’ website: "When FOB went on hiatus, I wasn’t really sure what to do with myself. I know I wanted to keep travelling the world with my family. We had been to Jamaica recently. I spent a lot of time hanging around the beaches and I started to get inspired again by songs like "Two Sevens Clash" and "Warriors." I’d never heard any of these songs but could imagine them having an everlasting imprint, like people would dance to this stuff forever."

The group’s site currently features a preview of two songs, "Club Called Heaven" and "Beating In My Chest." A debut album (no release date yet) and tour are currently in the works.
